The government censorship focuses on "community" type web applications. Apart from FB and Youtube, foreign blogging platforms remain constantly blocked.

Also Chinese blogging applications were halted just a short while ago while the relevant authorities are reviewing blog contents and deciding on possible further restrictions on allowed keywords.

On the other hand, the authorities have relaxed their approach on internet porn significantly, a very Chinese style decision to give citizens a channel to vent their frustrations from everyday life.
